Is your head in the sand, too?

According to a Merrill Lynch survey, “Well-to-do
Americans worry more about having enough retirement money than about losing a
job or other anxiety-provoking situations, but few are willing to cut spending
on entertainment, restaurants or vacations. A Merrill Lynch survey of
"mass affluent" people finds 63% want to have enough money to live
"in the here and now" while 48% prioritize saving for the future.”
Based on surveys showing Americans spend more time shopping for electronics and
planning vacations than they spend on planning their finances, I expect the
findings apply to middle income Americans as well. So… what are you doing to
ensure a financially secure later life? Come to Financial Planning for Women to
get your finances in order and invest for a secure future.
